Here's some more information from the publishers:
Coates explores the potential for narrative as a way of interpreting buildings from ancient history through to the present. It features architects as diverse as William Kent, Antoni GaudÃ, Eero Saarinen, Ettore Sottsass, Superstudio, Rem Koolhaas and FAT.
The book provides an overview of the work of NATO and Coates, as well as chapters on other contemporary designers. In so doing it signposts narrative’s significance as a design approach that can aid architecture to remain relevant in this complex, multidisciplinary and multi-everything age.
